Livonia's Mark Lewis playing in US Army Bowl

Harry · December 14, 2011

Zachary High School will host the 10th annual U.S. Army Redstick Bowl, which will feature more than 90 of the Capital Area's top senior football players competing one last time. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

UNT RB commit Mark Lewis has been selected to play in that game. While it's an honor, I don't want to see him play TOO well because it will open some eyes of other schools that may try to steal him away LOL.

Keep in mind, Lewis played his junior season as a linebacker. He moved to running back his senior season and was the very best in all of Louisiana 3A Ball. This kept him under the BCS radar to a certain extent.

I found this from a Mississippi State site in regards to the All Star Game and Lewis:

For the Rough Riders, top players include Livonia running back Mark Lewis and offensive lineman Xavier Joseph, Donaldsonville athlete Devon Breaux, who is committed to Tulane, Scotlandville offensive lineman Blaine Poydras and quarterback [/db]Kimani Smith[/db], Denham Springs offensive lineman Austin Loup, and Central linebacker/defensive end Zach Hetrick.

"I think we have some good kids," Weiner said. "Just from talking with the coaches of the players we selected, they are proud of their kids and that is always a good thing. They are glad to put their name on them. We have a big offensive line. And the running back from Livonia, Mark Lewis, is really, really good. That should be fun to see. Devon Breaux, the quarterback from Donaldsonville, led the state in passing and the wide outs we have, I think we have some good players."
